Industry Qualification

Jewelry Stores: yes, this industry is eligible.

Jewelry Stores fall under an eligible industry classification (Jewelry Retailers). Jewelers hold expensive inventory and sell in seasonal surges, and the review reads how those surges and stock purchases show up in the account.

Why jewelry stores qualify

Jewelry stores take high-ticket card sales, layaway and in-house financing payments, plus repair and custom-design revenue, which together show the store's earning pattern.

Funding is usually used to build inventory before the holidays and Valentine's Day, buy loose stones or estate pieces, upgrade security, or expand custom design.

Average daily balance

Stock purchases are large and seasonal; an average balance around 10% of monthly revenue shows the store can carry them. ADB explained →

Time in business

Stores open three or more years are strongest, and newer jewelers with steady sales are funded regularly. Time tiers →

Negative days/NSFs

Memo and vendor payments that bounce count as NSFs — staying under 6 a month keeps the file in range. Exact limits →

Existing positions

An existing inventory advance is reviewed; balances of $100K or less can be bought out. Refinance options →

How money moves through a jewelry store

November and December can bring a large share of annual sales, followed by Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and wedding season. Summer and early fall are usually slower.

Inventory is bought months ahead or taken on memo, insurance and security are significant fixed costs, and custom pieces require paying for metal and stones before the customer pays in full.

What jewelry stores use funding for

Holiday inventory

Engagement rings, diamonds and gifts stocked before the season.

Loose stones and estate buying

Purchasing pieces when good inventory becomes available.

Security upgrades

Safes, cameras and display cases.

Custom design tools

CAD software and casting equipment.

Showroom refresh

Lighting and cases that present high-ticket pieces well.

Worked example: a jewelry store

A family jeweler wants to buy bridal inventory in September so the cases are full for engagement season.

Its statements show about $82,000 a month in deposits and an average daily balance near $9,500 — roughly 12% of monthly revenue, above the 10% benchmark.

A request of $50,000 on a term loan is about 61% of one month's deposits for this jewelry store, which keeps the payment proportionate to what comes in.

Illustrative figures for a sample jewelry store, not an offer; real amounts, terms and cost depend on the full file.

How it works

1. Apply in minutes

Pull recent business bank statements; sales, layaway and repair deposits show the store's real volume.

2. Same-day decision

Seasonal sales patterns, years open and current positions inform the decision, alongside the owner's credit.

3. Review your terms

You see amount, term and total cost before signing, so payments can fit the slow summer months.

4. Next-day funding

Once you sign, funding usually arrives the next business day, ready for the buying trip.

Common questions

Can a jeweler fund holiday inventory?

Yes. Pre-season stock is the most common use for jewelry stores.

How much can a jewelry store borrow?

Sales and repair deposits determine it, within a $10,000–$350,000 line or a $10,000–$250,000 term loan.

Does memo inventory affect the file?

Memo arrangements are common; the review looks at bank activity and existing positions.

Can a jeweler with an existing advance apply?

Yes, and refinance or buyout may be available for balances of $100K or less.

Will a jeweler's credit be affected by checking?

No. Checking has no effect on the score, and the decision comes the same day.

Jewelry stores: check your options

Bridal inventory or new cases — jewelry stores hear back the same day, and checking does not touch credit.
